I really want to know how filters are made... But this sounds like fun, let me into the factory so we can design more filters, or screw them up... either way we will have fun.
See you all there, or is it see you all their...
For the OC guys and anyone from LA, I'll be at Krispy Kreme at the Block of Orange at 8:00 and will leave at 8:30.
I'm looking forward to seeing the inside of K&N and how they manufacture all the filters. I hear it is very high tech.
Hey Lance,
I would love to see the mfg process on these awesome CAI kits.
But as I mentioned to you before I'll be at the NorCal Viper clubs Calaveras Big Tree cruise. It should be a lot of fun meeting with Maurice and the rest of the club members.
Have fun and take lots of pics.
Hey Demoe,
Have a great time up there and say "Hi" to all our friends up there for us.
For anyone else that may want to do this, I've attached the info for their run.
Please add me to the K&N filter tour list.
I'll have my new chrome rims and tires for this one. >g
Would love to make this one but will be in Detroit for the Grand Opening of the Viper Cafe, then on to Charlotte to help with planing for VOI 12.
Enjoy,
Dan <2

Hey Luke,

Glad you and Cher are coming out.
See you in the morning.
Late breaking news. We got back late last night from our 14-day Alaska land tour/cruise and I am ready to do some Viper driving. I will be there with my granddaughter!

Thank you all for coming out today !
I was amazed at the sheer size of this Company and learned a lot about their history, operation, manufacturing, products and the people that work here.
A special Thank you to Rich, Darrin and Bert who came out on their day off to show us around.
